Mo-2368 A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF
BIS(4-HY~ROXYPHENYL)BIPHENYL DIS~LFONE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)biphenyl disulfone has been found to be a useful monomer in preparing poly-mers such as polyurethanes, polycarbonates, polyethers, polyesters and polysulfones. Polycarbonates prepared using such a monomer are disclosed in U.S. Patent 3,269/986. Such polymers are generally useful in films, fibers, injection molded parts, extruded tubes and molded parts, blow molded articles and coatings.
The art is noted to include the note entitled "Cleav-age of Alkyl Aryl Ethers with Lithium Iodide" by I. T. Harrison, J. Chem. Soc. D 196~ (11), p. 616.
15 The obje~t of the present invention is to provide a novel process for the preparation of bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)biphenyl disulfone.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention pertains to a process for the preparation Gf bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)biphenyl disulfone comprising reacting 4,4'-biphenyldisulfonyl-chloride with anisole in the presence of a catalyst to produce bis(4-methoxyphenyl)biphenyl disulfone and refluxing the bis(4-methoxyphenyl)biphenyl disulfone in the presence of a lithium halide.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The process of the present invention can be illustrated by the following general reaction scheme:
O-CH3 catalyst 30 ClS02 ~ ~ -S02-Cl + ~ ~~~~~~~~~

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

O-CH3 catalyst 30 ClS02 ~ ~ -S02-Cl + ~ ~~~~~~~~~
4,4'-biphenyldisulfonylchloride ;
Mo-2368 ~63~

bis(4-hy~roxyphenyl)biphenyl disulfone Suitable catalysts are Lewis acids, prefer-ably FeC13.
Suitable solvents usable in the process in-clude quinoline, pyridine, trimethylpyridine and dimethylformamide (DMF). Preferably, quinoline is used.
Suitable lithium halides include lithium iodide, lithium chloride and lithium bromide. Prefer-ably, lithium iodide is used.
This process for the preparation OL bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)biphenyl disulfone is advantageous be-cause mild conditions are used in the Fridel-Crafts reaction resulting in less by product formation. Fur-thermore, the process of the invention produces yields of bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)biphenyl disulfone of from about 60 to 80%.
The invention will be further illustrated, but is not intended to be limited, by the following example.
EXAMPLE
4,4'-biphenyldisulfonylchloride (35.1 g, OolO mol), anisole (200 ml) and erric chloride (2.0 g) were placed in a 500 ml flask equipped with a stirrer, thermometer, condenser and nitro~en purge. The reac-t~on mixture was heated to 40-45C for 17 hours. The solid was collected with suction, washed with dilute HCl and then with acetone. The solid was recrystal-lized three times from dimethylformamide (mp 268-271C).
Mo-2368 A Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectrum (in trifluoro-acetic acid) showed the correct ratio of aromatic to aliphatic protons. ~he presence of only one isomer was indicated since there was only a single sharp peak for methoxy.
Bis(4-methoxyphenyl)biphenyl disulfone (5.0 g), lithium iodide monohydrate (5.0 g) and 50 ml quinoline were placed in a 100 ml flask and refluxed for 4 hours.
The reaction mixture was poured into ethyl acetate and extracted with 10% HCl (4 times with 100 ml) and H2O
(1 time with 100 ml). The ethyl acetate solution was dried over sodium sulfate and removed on a rotating evaporator to yield 6.7 y of bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-biphenyl disulfone. This solid still contained some quinoline, and thin layer chromatography indicated the presence of 20% bis(methoxyphenyl)biphenyl disulfone.
Although the invention has been described in detail in the foregoing for the purpose of illustra-tion~ it is to be understood that such detail is solely for that purpose and that variations can be made therein by those skilled in the art without depart-ing Erom the spirit and scope of the invention except as it may be limited by the claims~
